I’ll Quit Being a God: Remarks at the end of this book
It has been just over a year since it was uploaded in early February 2020 and has now been completed.
Regardless of the solar or lunar calendar, I still remember that it was not long after the Chinese New Year when I first published the book, and it is still not long after the Lunar New Year now.
The word count is about 1.7 million, which is similar to the previous book. It’s not too long, nor is it too short.
When I wrote the ending, my heart felt empty. Many characters and plots in the book were vividly in my mind, flashing through my mind like a revolving lantern.
It is already 3:30 in the morning when I type the word "bloom". The strange thing is that I don't feel sleepy at all. I have fallen asleep, but my brain is very excited. Before 9 o'clock in the morning, I got up and finished writing this book. Remarks, tell readers what’s in your heart.
First of all, thank you.
Thanks to the book friends who stayed with me until the end, and also to the book friends who supported me but did not make it to the end due to some reasons. It was your support that allowed this book to be successfully completed.
To be honest, the results of this book are not very good, but it is still a new high in the author's writing history. The first order exceeded 2,000. This result is not bad even if the light novel section has become the largest traffic area in Qidian. .
At that time, the author was also ambitious and planned to hit a wave of high-quality products no matter what. It was not uncommon at the starting point to double the first order. Even if it did not double, it would not be very difficult to reach 3,000. Unfortunately, it was not achieved in the end.
There are many problems, both internal and external.
The biggest one is, of course, the author’s job transfer.
I used to be very free, and there was basically nothing to do at work. Even if I was busy in the morning, I could finish it. After noon and into the evening, I could quietly code, think about the plot, read other novels, and learn their excellence.
After being transferred, I was all retired. I can’t remember how many times I worked overtime until twelve o’clock. Many chapters were written in fragmented time, and I even rushed out. Although I still put a lot of thought into it, the gap is not the same. Not hard to spot.
The transfer was in August, and my performance began to decline in September. The most important thing about novels is that they are good. If they are not good, I don’t blame the readers for leaving.
In addition, the author also talked about someone who objectively needs to invest time and energy - I don't mean to complain, it's just an objective fact. My partner knows that I write a book and is very supportive. I am very satisfied with this alone. If there are no accidents, I should be able to achieve positive results and I will report the good news to everyone when the time comes.
After talking about the external reasons, let’s talk about the internal ones, which can be regarded as a comprehensive review of the creative process of this book.
The positioning of the book.
It must be Tokyo-style, a story about a time traveler who mixes with Japan. It introduces a lot of familiar names. The original intention is to like it. By the way, I think it can avoid some character creation and win a wave of popularity.
The implementation was good at first, but as more people came later and some of the original plots were introduced, problems arose. Many readers don't like this kind of stuff with the imprint of comprehensive comics. Those who like comprehensive comics may not like this kind of hodgepodge. The result was neither fish nor fowl, and it was not pleasing to both sides. It was considered the first wave of dissuasion.
However, because the author likes it and it is still within the acceptable range, if the author is not happy with the writing, the book will really not be sustainable.
Then there's the rhythm.
Someone told me that the current direction of the starting point has changed. Instead of following the same rules as before, the pace must be fast and the protagonist must not be frustrated.
This book has a good start, and the pace is quite tight. Some readers even compared me with August Flying Eagle's "I Seize the Body of the Demon Emperor". They felt very happy at the time, because that was a big deal.
But when I got to Santou Mountain, I started to suffer from the old habit of writing fan fiction, especially slow-burning type fan fiction. Everything I wrote had to be explained clearly, and the setting was even more complicated. The pace became slower and slower. The fight lasted for a long time—unfortunately, I only learned about that golden saying later, so I could change it if I wanted to.
What a coincidence, it happened to be in the early stage of release, and more than one person told me that playing like this would hurt my character and performance, and asked me to finish it as soon as possible, and I had to finish it if I couldn't make a big update. Whether it's good or bad doesn't necessarily mean that the content is compact. It doesn't matter if it's updated and readers enjoy it. It's a pity that I can't do it with my handicap, otherwise the results can be improved to a higher level.
For example, the frequent customer in this chapter, "Tao Fa naturally becomes the inner demon," clearly stated that I will not give you an initial order and will come back the next day. This is also the book friend who stayed with me until the end, and has been very active since then. Thank you, thank you, other familiar faces such as sekck, silent thunder, phantom Baku, salted fish sitting on the sun and beach_H and more Thank you to all the book friends whose names are not mentioned. You are all the motivation for the author's writing. A genius can remember 噺バ一中文m.x/8/1/z/w.c/o/m/
Next is the architectural issue.
In September and October, when performance began to decline, another point was actually involved.
It happened to be the end of the Kyoto chapter, and the protagonist began to stand on the opposite side of the Wu Zun faction, carrying the leader alone, which was different from the previous approach where he lacked strength and had to be cautious due to the gathering of big guys.
The original intention was to write about the unparalleled pride and unrestrainedness of one person against half the country, but the result was not great. The results speak for themselves. The subscriptions were falling every day. I was really worried at the time. My mentality was shattered and I couldn't go to work. In my mind, I don’t have time for novels, and I have thought about quitting my job more than once. This idea has not completely dissipated even now. I can only say to take it one step at a time. If I can pick up the next book, maybe I will be able to work full-time.
If before the Kyoto chapter, it was a novice novel with some ups and downs, then after the Kyoto chapter, it is the kind of novice novel that even pretends to be good but fails to show off. It is really embarrassing and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a failure.
Besides this, there is another very important point that many book friends have raised with me - Tokyo style, never write about a flower grower. The relationship between the two parties is complicated and problems will definitely arise if not handled well. No matter which side is lifted or pressed, it is not a good thing.
I also know this. However, the outline of this book has been decided a long time ago. If you look at all the aspects involved in the Yin Yang family, you will know how to get around it? You can't change it even if you make major changes. This is something that runs through the whole book. You can only say that you have chosen the path you have chosen, and you have to walk it on your knees.
Then there are emotional issues. The full text of the full text is the fastestんττρs:/м.χ八㈠zщ.còм/
This has not been dealt with well. Kagura Mio and Yagami Setsuna were not likable from the beginning, and the same is true for their hearts - my **** friend, the author of "Otaku Fairy Tale" and "Otaku Chef" said this to me more than once, also Teacher and friend, enemy and friend, royal sister, how could such a good character be written like this for you? Wasn't this the case when you were writing about the moon?
Maybe it’s because you’re not in love? So I have no experience, but now that we are talking about it, it should be much better in the future. There is also the harem. I have the intention to deal with this, but it is really not handled well. I have more than one **** friend who is a good player. I will ask him for advice next time.
Now Qidian's style has changed a lot, and the market for harems is getting smaller and smaller. I hope he will stick to his position. As for me, I will decide after reading the style of this book.
A harem is better than a harem, and a single heroine is better than a single heroine. After all, there are more people, scenes, and character creation are all problems. Let me think about it carefully.
Finally, of course, the ending.
Can't I write this book? Of course, on a stage as big as a flower gardener, there are only two God-killers who will make their official debut, and there is no trace of Xiaoya, who has been the most vocal in the bookstore www.zhaoshuyuan.com.
Why not?
Two reasons. First, writing a book is like drinking tea. The meaning is weak. If you forcefully add water, it will be meaningless and will only get worse.
Secondly, the income, the book's subscriptions and new additions are all terrible. It used to be ranked around 40 in the division, and it could reach 20 in the best time, but now it has dropped to outside 100, and it may not be even 200.
The author is also a human being, he also has to live and have hobbies, especially this author is an African. Everyone knows that the New Year's Day is full of money, alas.
So let’s stop here. Anyway, Mr. Guan has surpassed, and he is a powerful transcender. If you don’t want to be the master in Japan, you will be fine. After all, there is an unreasonable hand, and the worst is to exchange lives for each other.
My own network of connections isn’t bad either. It wouldn’t be too wonderful to live a small life honestly. If that doesn’t work, you can go to a flower grower’s house. Wouldn’t it be nice to be neighbors with seniors and eat melons together?
Personally, I feel that it is relatively complete and not unfinished.
However, there are also some shortcomings. These regrets can only be improved and made up for in future works.
After nagging so much, let’s just let this book come to a successful conclusion.
Thank you again for your support.
Regarding the new book, there will definitely be one, and it will definitely be better. We will definitely summarize the mistakes and make improvements, and continue to carry forward the advantages. However, we are currently in the process of seeing each other with the editor. We have revised it repeatedly for more than ten versions. I will publish it when it is ready. Stay tuned.
I hope everyone will continue to support the author and see you in the next book!
